About usePAT
usePAT GmbH is an Austrian company based in Vienna that develops, produces and distributes ultrasonic fittings to improve inline measurements in industrial liquids. The company's add-ons optimize existing process probes by means of focused ultrasonic fields in the megahertz range, prevent fouling effects on probe windows and increase measurement accuracy. The product line includes sonicclean for automatic inline probe cleaning, soniccatch for inline particle manipulation for continuous quality control and sonicdebubble for bubble-free measurements. All systems are designed in-house and assembled as a perfect fit for probes from various manufacturers, covering various installation scenarios such as opposed, 90° or single-port installation (Ingold DN25, DN35, DN40, DN50) as well as clamp variants for free-hanging probes (12–65 mm diameter). Fields of application are the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotech industries, food & beverage, wastewater/water and mining. From Vienna, usePAT serves customers worldwide, including the Merck Group and the wastewater treatment plant of the City of Klagenfurt.

Processes & Technologies
sonicclean – automatic inline probe cleaning
Keeps inline probes continuously clean by means of ultrasound for accurate measurement data in the process.
soniccatch – inline particle manipulation
Captures particles such as crystals or cells by ultrasound (megahertz range) in front of the probe for inline samples and reliable real-time data.
sonicdebubble – bubble-free measurement
Creates a bubble-free space in the probe's measurement area for correct data acquisition.
sonic catch&clean for crystallization
Optimizes inline measurements in crystallization processes with inline microscopes as well as Raman and ATR/FTIR probes.
